Hi all,
Recently bought a Troy Bilt LTX 1842, love it except for a few deck issues.
For one: When I raise the deck to the highest height, and turn on the blades, they run fairly well but I can hear the blades changing speeds as I go through different height grass. When I lower the height, the blades turn off when I get down around height 3 or 4. I just replaced the PTO belt and now the blades run much faster on the highest height, but still when I get down to height 2 or 3 the blades stop.
Secondly: the blades only rise to 3.5 inches. I'm constantly amazed at how some mowers don't go to at least 4 inches. Anyways, I'm wondering if anyone has any experience modifying decks or has any ideas on how to get the deck up to 4 inches. I've been looking through the part diagrams and can't figure out a way to get it up higher. Any ideas?
Thanks.
